Supreme Court Showdown Over Texas Abortion Law

Robert Destro, a law professor at The Catholic University of America, told the Register that the pro-life side, to prevail at the Supreme Court, has to make a detailed case for why the abortion facility regulations are necessary.

“If you focus on generalities and make this about access to abortion, then our side loses,” Destro said. “If you make it about reasonable health-care regulations in an industry fraught with fraud and malpractice lawsuits and things that are covered up, like Gosnell, then we stand a very good chance.”

Said Destro, “The question is: Can you convince Justice Anthony Kennedy that your version of the story is more realistic?”
